This book delves deep into performance effects of corporate governance mechanisms.

The book renews the business case for good corporate governance practices that go beyond a firm's valuation and profitability. It evaluates the impact of corporate governance on those corporate decisions, which have been shown to affect a firm's value. One of its most notable qualities, is its due consideration to a firm's varied organizational circumstances. As a result, the book is a useful resource toward understanding 'how' superior corporate governance mechanisms can drive a firm's value.
